From a young age, Mandy dreamt up stories about her toys and made little magazines to keep her parents informed about what they were up to. Mandy is now an Art Director, Character Designer, Illustrator, VFX Look Dev Artist and Toy Maker. Her work can be seen in television, movies and prints. As a Key Look Dev Artist, Mandy has used her eye for detail to bring life to iconic characters such as Wonder Woman and The Terminator in high end VFX Companies including Industrial Light & Magic and Moving Picture Company. As an Art Director for Blue Zoo Animation Studio and Character Designer Mandy has built Millie and Lou’s world, filling it with fantastical characters.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
